He glanced up, the key words 'book' and 'learn' grabbing his attention at once. He did not know if it had been an offer, but it made Daxton suspicious nevertheless. If it was, he could not help but wonder exactly why she would offer something like that, oblivious as he was to all things potentially 'nice' or 'kind'. It seemed more likely to Daxton that the Cooper girl was flaunting something that she had that Daxton did not. He did not know if it was wise to assume either way, knowing that people could say the strangest things and then act like the obscure meanings were the most obvious thing in the world. There was no way Daxton could think to respond that did not risk making him look dim-witted (which he most certainly was not), and so he quickly averted his eyes again, looking back to the folded paper creature.

As far as he could tell, it had not been a question anyway, so perhaps responding was not necessary at all. Though if such a book did exist, Daxton wanted to get his hands on it. He felt a surge of annoyance, of more suspicion, as it occurred to him that the Cooper girl somehow knew that he did not know how to perceive or respond to the statement, and was simply mocking him. That had to be it.

Perhaps the fire would be the best place for the paper... thing. Even as he thought it, Daxton felt a tingling in his nose, a sign he knew only all too well. Covering his mouth and nose with his free hand, he managed to execute the sneeze almost silently, and immediately shot an accusatory glance in the direction of Cooper's Kneazle. They were both mocking him.

Or not.

Maddie wondered what the younger claw did with all those thoughts in his head that he never shared out loud. She'd seen him write down his thoughts before, which was also interesting as it made her wonder if he dared write his more private thoughts down, too. Unwise, in her opinion, given how curious claws could be. Take her, for instance. If a notebook like that existed, she'd want to get her hands on it merely to know what was going on in his mind. She'd be paying more attention from now on just to see.

The sneeze, as quiet as it was, caused Zeus to rise from his current place beside his master and stretch out as much as he could, awaking his muscles. The sight earned a smile from Maddie and she wiggled a piece of the colorful paper she was holding in front of Z's face, amused when he rolled onto his back right between herself and Daxton to swat at it.

Given the looks he'd been giving her kneazle up til now, the seventh year was curious to see how Prince would react when Z was so close.
